“A Charlie Brown Christmas”   Charles Schulz   (Charlie Brown Records)   The 1966 Emmy and Peapody Award-winning, Primetime CBS-TV special that became an annual holiday ritual for kids of all ages.   Repelled by the commercialism he sees around him, Charlie Brown tries to find the true meaning of Christmas.

The soundtrack by jazz composer Vince Guaraldi has become as well-known as the story itself.   In particular, the instrumental “Linus and Lucy”   has come to be regarded as the signature musical theme of the Peanuts specials. Additionally “Christmas Time is Here” has become a popular Christmas tune. A soundtrack album for the special was released by Fantasy Records and remains a perennial best-seller. (While the soundtrack contains some music that does not appear in the TV special, it also fails to include two musical themes which appear in the special. Both of those missing themes are, however, available on another album by the Vince Guaraldi Trio entitled Charlie Brown’s Holiday Hits.)
